We got details:
New high-definition digital restoration, approved by director Alex Cox, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition Audio commentary featuring Cox, executive producer Michael Nesmith, casting director Victoria Thomas, and actors Sy Richardson, Zander Schloss, and Del Zamora Interviews with Cox, Richardson, and Zamora; producers Peter McCarthy and Jonathan Wacks; actors Olivia Barash, Dick Rude, Miguel Sandoval, and Harry Dean Stanton; musicians Keith Morris and Iggy Pop; and Sam Cohen, the inventor of the neutron bomb Deleted scenes The complete “cleaned-up” television version of the film, prepared by Cox Trailers PLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Sam McPheeters; an illustrated production history by Cox, with his original comic and film proposal; and a 1987 interview with real-life repo man Mark Lewis
Commentary sounds like the same one from before, but just about everything else is new. Getting the cleaned-up version will be amazing.

watched this recently on a pretty poor DVD version, it was notable how much it needed cleaning up. Awesome they've done that!
― Neil S, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 15:32 (4 months ago) Permalink
Yeah, that's something going unremarked -- Robby Müller's cinematography is just stellar, so to see it all cleaned up this way is going to be a beauty. Gets the bright light of the sky around here perfectly.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 15:36 (4 months ago) Permalink
it was pretty much VHS quality IIRC which did add a certain nostalgic something, but yeah it deserves to be able to shine.

it's kinda killing me that I can't remember what theater I saw it in in '84
― saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 16 January 2013 15:42 (4 months ago) Permalink
The local art theater had this a year or two ago and i had always seen it on VHS at a friend's place etc and it was such a HUGE riot. Yes, the cinematography is beautiful, but the script is brilliant. It's jam-packed with iconic memorable lines. Probably the best cult film of all time imo. Seeing it in the theater was such an incredible experience i don't think i will ever be able to watch another Alex Cox movie cos there is no way they can match up. The stars were aligned with this one.

If this is the same as the Masters of Cinema UK Blu-ray release that came out a year ago, check out the Harry Zen Stanton extra feature. It's... something.

scored an advance copy of the Criterion relase
omg u guys
it's a little weird at first to see it not looking like a 5-times dubbed vhs copy, which I think I had kind of subconsciously lumped into 'part of its charm'
but all that LA squalor looks so beautiful now lol :) and the final sequence flying over LA was meant for the bluray transfer, it really came up beautifully.

Yeah, I have a copy of the UK Masters of Cinema blu-ray which I think is the same transfer. It looks fucking great - you could lose yourself in the lines in Harry Dean Stanton's face.
Repo Man's up there with Chinatown as one of the quintessential LA movies. Have we done an "LA movies" thread?

i don't know how I never noticed before but in that first opening scene, when the camera is on the car looking back down the highway you can see the smog line on the horizon

especially this:By the way, the rights to the original screenplay of REPO MAN revert to me in just a few years’ time. If anyone wants to remake the original script, or do a sequel to it, get in touch with me in early 2015…

I really really want this re-release tho!
I have the 2003 Universal DVD, but am strongly considering buying this new version (but the 2DVD set, not the Blu-Ray, as I don't own a Blu-Ray player).
